Do you think having the word "homebound" could be a turn-off to people who are familiar with this term when it is used to describe the clinical condition of an individual unable to leave their home?

Your intended use is cool, however; I feel there is an emotional charge to the word that could work against what your trying to accomplish.

Your design work is great. I will enjoy seeing your site come along.

I invite any critical feedback you could give me on my deployment at:

I was thinking of using the same term 'homebound' on my site.

I'm glad you mentioned this; I had forgotten how anal a lot of people are these days...

Do you know if there is an acceptable alternative to that term, with the same meaning most normal people would understand without being offended?

Wow! I thought the term here in the States was "shut-in"

It's a mad, mad, PC world... sorry...I meant "sanity-challenged" :D

Wow Nice Site...I especially like the option to choose a skin. Very Cool...but i think proffessionally you should try a cleaner look skin to be available too...whenever you look at proffessional sites they have a very clean and easy navigation look. I allways try to immitate the highest profile sites in the catagory of business i am designing for usually beacuase these sites are designed to be easy for the most computerly uninclined. Also the big sites pay people to design a structure that is inviting to users and increases sales. Its also a good place to steal ad copy.
